Yes, the search in Finder is better than in Windows. But the UI is worse.

Mac (the hardware) is amazing. MacOS (the OS) is much better than Windows. But MacOS (the user interface) is worse than Windows (or even Linux).
I hate MacOS UI. Red/yellow/green buttons to close(?)/minimize(?)/maximize(?) windows are usability hell.

Proton should be receiving billions in investments from European companies, just like Anthropic and OpenAI do.

Considering the advances in software and hardware, I would expect that in 2 or 3 years. And I hope we will eventually reach a point where models become "good enough" for certain tasks, and we won't have to replace them…

Even as a principal engineer, there is an infinite number of things you don't know. Suppose you get out of your comfort zone to do something entirely new; AI will be much more helpful for you than it is for people who…
The scary thing is that Amodei only opposes to domestic mass-surveilance. He doesn't seem to care if the DoW uses his AI for international spying. That's one more reason why Europe needs sovereign tech.

To run Llama 3.1 8B locally, you would need a GPU with a minimum of 16 GB of VRAM, such as an NVIDIA RTX 3090. Talas promises a 10x higher throughtput, being 10x cheaper and using 10x less electricity. Looks like a good…
